Abstract

In view of the planning experiments for collisions of light nuclei at relativistic heavy ion collider, the flow coefficients for O-O, Al-Al, and Cu-Cu collisions are studied in the color string percolation model. Our results for v₂ are somewhat smaller than predicted by other groups, although with the same dependence on centrality. Our obtained v₃ lie between predictions of other groups.
